## Abstract

A vehicle control system for providing a remote operation service for remotely operating a device mounted on a vehicle by using a terminal located outside the vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a service control unit that stops the remote operation service when power consumption of the in-vehicle battery exceeds a threshold when power generation cannot be performed, and the terminal includes a display control unit that displays, on a display screen, a reason why the remote operation service is unavailable when the remote operation service is stopped in the vehicle.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vehicle control system that provides a remote operation service for remotely operating a device mounted on a vehicle by using a terminal located outside the vehicle, wherein:
the vehicle includes a service control unit configured to stop the remote operation service in response to an amount of power consumption of an in-vehicle battery exceeding a threshold when the vehicle is unable to generate electric power; and
the terminal includes a display control unit configured to, when the remote operation service is stopped in the vehicle, display on a display screen a reason why the remote operation service is unavailable.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vehicle control system according to claim 1, wherein the display control unit is configured to display high power consumption of the vehicle on the display screen as the reason why the remote operation service is unavailable.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The vehicle control system according to claim 2, wherein the display control unit is configured to display the high power consumption of the vehicle by an illustration on the display screen.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The vehicle control system according to claim 1, wherein the display control unit is configured to display the remote operation service on the display screen in a display form different from other vehicle services that are not stopped.
